Lmao. Thanks Nick. 👍 they are great bikes. Let me know because I would love to throw down some miles with you. Hell we could get J.R. and Dacoda and Grandpa, it would be like a biker gang 😂😂
Nice, the more I see these Goldwings the more I like them. I have two Harleys, a 2005 SE Electra Glide and a 2004 Fatboy. Both low miles and excellent condition yet a Goldwing has my eye.
Great video! Just bought a 2007 GL1800 and love it! Since I got it I installed the XK Glow LED lighting kit so you can't miss me in the evening. Turn signals, hazard lights and brake lights all light up. Rode the bike from PA to NC and back, smooth as silk. I had a GL1500 years ago so I'm not brand new to GW. Have bought 4 Harleys since selling the 1500 and decided its time to go back to a Wing! Still have my Ultra, which has sat under a cover in my garage since the Wing purchase. Safe riding!
Sitting under a cover since the wing purchase 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . Yeah it don't matter 1500 or 1800. Both the same but different. I prefer the 1800. However I started with a 1986 GL1200 Interstate. Yeah you are a Goldwinger. Ride safe out there. And thanks for watching 👍
Just bought a 2002 GL1800A a month ago. I had a 1983 Yamaha Venture, that I just sold. What an amazing ride the GW is. It's burnt orange, like yours and everyone who sees it, just loves the color. I put in bluetooth, LED flasher, a V1 Windshield, the Cal high output LED lights in the rear with the rear turn signals, phone holder with cordless charger... I'll be adding the upgraded rear spoiler brake/ turn light and the high output mirror turn / running light LED bulbs also. I refer to her as the Great Pumpkin... Love it.
Congrats on the one yr I bought mine Jan 2 this yr with 66k and now have 85k my anniversary is Jan 2 /22 love your machine I got a baggershield on mine I love the versatility and sporty look enjoy the winter riding
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 my wife is 5’4 so no problem for wind for her im 5’8 with the Sheild all the way up and the extra glass flipped up I got no wind on me
I’m on second Wing, the first one, a 2006, I put 104k miles on it. I bought a fully loaded 2016 on 2/1/22 and have since put over 12k miles on it. The best touring motorcycle ever built. They’re seamless.
I bought an '04 in April of '21. About 5,000 miles so far. Can't complain! I went to a 70 series rear tire as well and agree that it might not be a good idea for a shorter or frail rider. Definitely takes more heft to get it off the sidestand. My bike had a Ring of Fire when I purchased it. Unfortunately, half the lights quit working so it was removed. Upon removal, I discovered a thick film of brake dust on the lower forks and rotors. Took a couple of hours, SOS pads and some elbow grease to clean it up.
Thanks Billy Mc for the comment. I will say 5000 miles in 8 months tells me you are a rider. So I guess if I add the ring of fire best thing is to remove yearly and clean the area that can't be seen. Also agree with the 70 series. I wonder if I could drive it off the center stand. Never thought of that. Anyways thanks for the comment. Be safe and Happy New Year.
Thanks for the video Mo. I just got my 2008 about 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! I would love to see a video when you decide to add a ring of fire to your bike. I have thought of that for mine. Happy New Year
Well I will say you will like it. I like the white ones. I have a 2000 gl1500se in Pearl white. Love it. Thanks for watching and when you get her please send me a pic. I would love to see it. Be safe and congratulations. mosmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com
Rolling bike off center stand is very handy! I could, if I place a plywood square under centerstand, where I store bike, I can get wheel too turn too clean on my 1500. My Yamaha Venture was opposite, with rear wheel inches off ground, thinking why so tall off ground! Looks like a great year of riding too me, I love your bike!
Thanks for the info on the 1500. I was wondering seeing how the tire does no come off the ground if I could ride it off the center stand. Or better yet reverse it onto the center stand. I will have to try that when it gets warmer out. Thanks for the comment Tim
Mo is right!! Fog lights are HUGE. Especially at night. Without them it’s easy for a driver to think a single light on a motorcycle is actually one of two lights on a car further behind the bike so the car pulls into the path of the bike due to the optical illusion. It has ended or changed lives. Add fog lights to your bike.
I bought a slightly used '17 in 2020. Just took on an 1800 mile loop. Was great overall. Burns through the fuel. May do better on premium. I could see adding a throttle wing to take some of the resistsnce of holding throttle.
I like the shark fins. Been thinking about that area for something. They make a few different chrome accents for the radiator. I like the red. Almost purchased a red on but was a little late. Lol. Thanks again for the comment and please be safe.
She’s a beauty Mo! I will be adding fog lights and LED’s to mine soon enough. I still haven’t had a chance to test my new MadStad windshield, but I should this weekend if it doesn’t snow
Thanks On a Wing, yeah I love her. Please let me know about the windshield when you ride next. I'm very interested. Also we have 5 to 8 inches coming Sat and Sun. It's 40 degrees now and sunny. So I may do my last ride of 2020 today. Be safe Happy New Year and keep in touch.
I have a madstad fitted to my 02.. I’m 5’8 and can ride with my helmet open, excellent wind protection too.air vent helps in hot summery days too.. I recommend it.🇬🇧👍
I went for my last ride on the 31st. We have 4 to 8 inches of snow comming starting today😩, so looks like they will be putting salt on the roads so that means I'm done riding for now. Or at least until the salt washes away. Happy New Year to you and yours Gary👍. Be safe and thanks for following. 🇺🇸
great review Mo on your goldwing nice bike glad you enjoy it I know I like mine they are great touring bikes I like your arm rests mine had arm rests that sung out and I had a back rest for the driver the wife felt like she was boxed in to much so we them off she likes it much better you know the saying happy wife happy life lol take care and have a Happy New Year's
Yes Tom I know that saying all too well. I thought about the swing away arm rests however my wife had a stroke almost 4 yrs ago and she has trouble with her right side feeling numb. She said it felt like she was sliding off the bike. So she felt alittle safer with the ones that fold down. Like you said sir happy wife happy life. I would love a driver back rest. Thanks for the comment be safe and Happy New Year
I have a 2002 gl1800 and it's a beast . I call it my hot rod gold wing. I put cobra slip ons on it several years back ..i think it opened it up alittle more..plus gave it alittle more nice exhaust note. I else gave it a euro sport tinted wind shield. That I could drop down alittle bit. And to also give it a more younger apeal. I put a shorter antenna. So it's got a more sportier look ..i think I. I'm always trying to keep my bike clean ..i want my front rim always with as much shine as possible..but it's aluminum so not and easy process. I installed a blue tooth device for music..with the J And M upgrade speakers as well. It sounds decent. I really would like to get the rims chromed but not easy in California any more. My bike is orange pearl and I bought it new back in 2002. She still looks good. And I don't own a garage but do have a carport which helps.But still have to keep it covered for the most part. Thanks I ride for the " Bikers For Christ " as well and my road name is " Rambler " I'm over here in Carson California. So God's Speed and I do enjoy your videos. See ya!
hi john here that is one fine goldwing what year is it last year i test drove a 2015 honda goldwing and fell in love with the way it drove saving now for one
I bought a 2008 wing last year with 50k. Put 20k miles on her and my goal is to hit 250k. My biggest complaint is the plastic rattles over rough roads and I can’t find the problem. I also wish it had another gear to bring the rpm’s down and help with mileage.
Thanks for the comment. So you have plastics rattling? I remember I had a noise in the front wheel and found it to be my fender. The front part was rattling at the top of where it touches the area you would put a fork brace. I removed the 4 screws on the front part of the fender and put 2 rubber bushings between the 2 pieces where they touch. Solved my issue. Don't know if that's what's wrong with yours but I have 53 thousand miles on it now. It started around 50 thousand. Hope that helps. Also you could put a 65 series tire on the rear and that will help with your rpm a bit. Be safe happy new year and thanks for watching
Hey Moe that's a good looking bike brother how much more you will be getting for a newer one from 01 to 12 they basically the same but you know a man won't for the man wants what part of Michigan are you if you live in I've got some family live in Michigan and I have a pipe dream of riding up there I'd like to hang out with you you seem like a good good brother
Yeah it's a hard decision. I want one but have one already. I live by South Haven Michigan. About 40 minutes from Indiana/Michigan line. 4 miles from Lake Michigan. Would love to ride sometime. If you are ever up this way or are planning a trip let me know. What state are you in? We could do some miles. You can always email me @mosmotorcyclejourney@gmail.com thanks again Tim and please be safe out there and Happy New Year
You too my brother I have family in Flint Saginaw and Pontiac I'm thinking about taking a ride up here this year I would definitely holler at you my brother Happy New Year and you know a man's going to do it a man is going to do
Does it have a heavy feeling? Is the steering heavy? Any heat issues? Legs cooking..etc..? Heat coming up from engine? After 300+ miles how is the seat?
Thanks for the comment. I would say yes it's a 900lb bike so it's going to be heavy. However it's also very nimble with the way the motor is put in, it has a low center of gravity. And after bout 10 mph you don't notice the weight. I have never noticed to where the steering was heavy unless ofcourse if the front tire is low on air. Lol I personally have not had hot legs on this bike. And I have been riding in 95 degrees and the only thing I noticed as with any cycle in that temp is you wanna keep moving for the fresh air. I will say I get hot as hell in my helmet. And for the seat , I will give it a perfect 10 for the age. After a 430 mile trip only stopping for gas I was comfortable. Ever since 1984 Honda has been putting a comfy seat on their goldwings. With that being said I have heard the 2018 plus is not that comfy. Hopefully I have covered all your questions and thank you for watching and the comment. Be safe.
What kind of gas mileage have you been getting with the 1800? I have a 2008 and have been getting 33 to 37. It only has 12,000 miles on it. Maybe I accelerate to hard. Great video!
I get around what you get. And yes I like to accelerate hard sometimes.🤣👍 Last summer I rode to the Mackinaw Bridge (400 miles)and had it on cruise control most the way. I actually was getting 35 mpg. And that was 2 up and loaded with overnight bags. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Please be safe on that wing.
Putting 70 series tire is like having 6 th gear should drop rpms about 300 rpms a 65 mph, found that out on my gl1500 the other way around. Gl1500 come with larger diameter tires than 1800's.
Well. I would like to ride a DCT because I like the new 2022 blue, however I also like the 2012 blue. And I love my bike and the 2012 is pretty much the same thing just newer. I have an issue with the newer 2018 plus being narrow. And I like to ride in 30 degree temps so I need a wider fairing then the new body style. But I'm thinking if i go new I will keep my orange one. That's my thoughts. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 be safe and Happy New Year
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 I have a 2007 blue because I love the color. I've been looking for a 2014 blue, but can't find one. The 2018+ Wings don't excite me because of the size. But I do like the 2022 blue and the bigger trunk! But too rich for my blood.
01 to 17 are by far the better bike imho. 06+ have heated grips heated seat, colour screen n sat nav.plus some cosmetic changes ie rear lights etc. 18+ wings are more sportier and narrower, mirrors look droopy too. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
@@garyedwards8142 the new wing, while it does come in a dct now is more sport and less tour. It’s still a goldwing so it comes down to what MO was talking about.
@@rodneybarcus2233 the new wing is an awsome bike for sure, nearly all the top tech.. it’s so smooth and gear change seamless.if they kept the touring shape of pre 2018 and the luxurious seat I’d be there with a deposit.happy new year to you 🇬🇧👍
Yes I have. I have a dog that would love to go with me so I thought about making a pet trailer. I will try and work on that over the winter. She would love to go with me. Thanks for watching and the comment

All true. That's what I have found. And the speedo is accurate now. Was 5mph off. Thanks for the feedback and for viewing. Be safe. 👍
You do keep that bike clean. When you say newer, are you talking 5th generation or 6th generation? Thanks for the video.
Well. I would like to ride a DCT because I like the new 2022 blue, however I also like the 2012 blue. And I love my bike and the 2012 is pretty much the same thing just newer. I have an issue with the newer 2018 plus being narrow. And I like to ride in 30 degree temps so I need a wider fairing then the new body style. But I'm thinking if i go new I will keep my orange one. That's my thoughts. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 be safe and Happy New Year
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 I have a 2007 blue because I love the color. I've been looking for a 2014 blue, but can't find one. The 2018+ Wings don't excite me because of the size. But I do like the 2022 blue and the bigger trunk! But too rich for my blood.
01 to 17 are by far the better bike imho. 06+ have heated grips heated seat, colour screen n sat nav.plus some cosmetic changes ie rear lights etc. 18+ wings are more sportier and narrower, mirrors look droopy too. 👍👍👍🇬🇧
@@garyedwards8142 the new wing, while it does come in a dct now is more sport and less tour. It’s still a goldwing so it comes down to what MO was talking about.
@@rodneybarcus2233 the new wing is an awsome bike for sure, nearly all the top tech.. it’s so smooth and gear change seamless.if they kept the touring shape of pre 2018 and the luxurious seat I’d be there with a deposit.happy new year to you 🇬🇧👍
Thinking about getting out on loud obnoxious Harley’s and trading my night train for a gold wing
Where did you get the after market chrome peices?
Mostly ebay.
@@mosmotorcyclejourney9067 great looking wing.
I don't know how much you travel, but have you ever thought about getting a trailer?
Yes I have. I have a dog that would love to go with me so I thought about making a pet trailer. I will try and work on that over the winter. She would love to go with me. Thanks for watching and the comment
